Set amid the restless nightlife and youthful yearning of early '80s France, the film follows three inseparable friends--Suzanne (Charlotte Walior), Annie (Zoé Chauveau), and Catherine (Anne Parillaud, later of \u003ci\u003eLa Femme Nikita\u003c\/i\u003e)--who spend their nights at discos and cinemas chasing excitement, love, and identity.
